HillaryGATE – She’s now down, maybe for the count

18082015

What I said here last Thursday Bob Woodward, famed Washington Post reporter who broke the Watergate story, finally said this Monday morning — Hillary’s secret email scandal now reminds him of Nixon’s recording tapes scandal that forced his resignation. Here’s what I wrote last Thursday:

Hillary’s EMAILS like Nixon’s TAPES? Special Prosecutor Ahead?

Pres Ford had to pardon Pres Nixon or he would have gone to jail. As a result Ford lost the 1976 election and we got Jimmy Carter instead. Will Pres Obama have to pardon almost-Pres Clinton? And will this lead to Pres Trump or Bush the Third in 2016?

Now that Hillary’s private email server has been seized and judges are involved ordering this and that, Hillary is really in jeopardy. And so are her top aides, especially Huma, who also used the “private” Clinton server and, as rumor has it, probably has had a secret les relationship with Hillary for some time. The courts are giving Huma orders now about her emails and multiple simultaneous jobs/paychecks, demanding that she tell the truth under oath. Remember now, years ago Bill Clinton got impeached not because he was doing it with Monica in the Oval Office but rather because he lied during legal discovery proceedings.

Nixon was brought down by the secret recordings. Hillary may be brought down by the secret emails. But already there’s likely one big difference! Nixon could have, but did not, destroy the tapes. Now that the feds have Hillary’s server, what they are likely to find is that all the missing and likely incriminating things on it were professionally scrubbed clean and cannot be retrieved.

If that’s the case, will the courts or Congress order Hillary to divulge who was hired to do it, exactly what was done, how were payments made? In short who might have been involved in such a conspiracy to obstruct justice?

Might there even be a Special Prosecutor ahead?

Now wondering… Will what I have said about a Special Prosecutor and possible charges of “Obstruction of Justice” be coming? Maybe yes, maybe no, but for sure HillaryGate will be with us for a long time, including during the campaign if Hillary survives and gets the Dem nomination despite all.

Now let’s see how the the Republican Congress and the Justice Department and the Courts and the State Department handle this mess. The right-wing media is quite literally loving it, along with all the mysteriously funded PACs. As I said last week — “Might there even be a Special Prosecutor ahead?”
